Systems Accountant £60,000 - £80,-24 Month FTC East Yorkshire Are you a systems accountant who enjoys being right in the thick of a go-live - solving problems, supporting sites, and helping people get comfortable with change? If you like pace, visibility, and being relied on to make things work in the real world (not just on paper), this could be right up your street. We're partnering with a large, manufacturing group with multi-billion-pound turnover and operations spread across more than 20 UK sites. It's a true end-to-end operation, from primary supply through to finished product, supplying major household-name retailers. The business has grown fast, stays commercially sharp, and isn't overly corporate in how it operates. They're partway through a major ERP rollout and now need a systems accountant to support finance teams through a critical phase of delivery. What's in it for you, upfront.£60,000 - £80,000 salary on a long-term fixed-term contract (initially 12 months, with a realistic extension to 2 years). You'll get exposure to a large-scale systems transformation, with plenty of autonomy and visibility from day one. The role Reporting into a senior group finance lead, you'll act as the hands-on support for sites during and after go-live. Go-Live Support: Working closely with site finance teams to troubleshoot issues, answer questions, and keep operations running smoothly. Systems Problem-Solving: Identifying recurring issues, resolving data and process problems, and improving how the system is actually used day to day. Stakeholder Engagement: Acting as a translator between finance, systems and operations - clear, practical, and approachable. Continuous Improvement: Feeding insights back into the wider rollout to improve consistency and adoption across the group. This systems accountant role is people-facing and practical - helping busy teams get the best out of a new system, with interpersonal skills just as important as technical know-how. What we're looking for Experience with Navision and involvement in Business Central implementations. Ideally a qualified accountant, but strong hands-on systems experience is the priority. A self-starter who's comfortable in fast-moving, high-pressure environments. Personable, relatable, and confident supporting non-technical stakeholders. Why join? You'll be joining a commercially driven business where systems really matter and good people get trusted to crack on. This systems accountant role offers long-term security, genuine challenge, and the chance to make a visible impact across a major change programme. Location: East Yorkshire- site-based with flexibility as requiredSalary: £60,000 - £80,000Contract: 12-24 month FTCStart: ASAP If you're a systems accountant who enjoys getting stuck in and helping businesses through change, hit apply.
